# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
02 - In a large bowl, mix chicken, frozen vegetables, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, thyme, black pepper, and salt until well combined. Spread evenly in prepared baking dish.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine the biscuit mix (reserving seasoning packet), milk, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir gently until just combined without overmixing.
04 - Dollop spoonfuls of the biscuit mixture evenly over the filling. Spread gently to cover, leaving gaps for steam to escape.
05 - Melt butter and stir in the reserved biscuit seasoning packet. Drizzle evenly over the biscuit topping.
06 - Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes until topping is golden and filling bubbles.
07 - Allow to rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.

  • The creamy filling paired with those cheesy, buttery biscuits is pure indulgence without pretension.
  • You can make it with ingredients you likely already have or grab in five minutes at the store.

  • Reserve that biscuit seasoning packet and mix it into melted butter before drizzling. This one step is what makes people ask for your recipe.

  • The reserved biscuit seasoning packet mixed into melted butter is the secret that makes people think you know something they don't.
